What a   fantastic  morning!!!!!!!  I  showed up  this  morning (a  bit  late , ooops) at the  Watauga county  farmers  market .  I  sort  of  knew   there  was  a  section  for  the  kids but  finally  saw  the  inner  workings.  Sarah  Herman , Valle Crucis T.A. in  the  Pre-K   program  has   been   working the    market  with  students  and parents  on  a  regular  basis.  Her  beautiful  school  garden   provided  all  the  delicious , nutritious  offerings  which   were  sold.  What   did  the  offerings  include? Edible and  gorgeous  zucchini  flowers,   spaghetti squash, awesome  heads  of  red  and  green  leaf  lettuce, cucumbers, verdant kale,  dill  plants,  and  decorative squash  Yum.  Yum.  Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I  must  not  forget  to  mention (no  names  sorry) two  young  ladies  and   their  mom  who  displayed awesome  sales  "panache" and litterally  wowed  the  crowd  selling out  just  about  everything  we  had  and  raking  in some big  bucks.  Off  to    the  side  was  another  young  man  fro  VC   marketing some  vintage  "Peter Pan" swords  and  sheilds  and home  produced  honey.   "SOLD OUT"  Any  students  and  parents   from  Valle  Crucis  are  welcome  to  bring   their  wares.  Every other  week.  Join  the  fun.  Chat  a  bit  with Sarah  H..  She  grows  the  stuff  and  will  give  you  a  recipe  to  knock  your  socks  off.  Lot's  of  gardening and great  collateral  learning  going on  over  a  VC.  I  ask  myself.  Why  are  we   sooooooo!   AWESOME!   :)
